Hi everyone,

I've only recently taken delivery of a K8 (and I'm well chuffed with it). At the first service it will be getting a Remus Revolution can (looks nice, sounds nice and the recommendation seems to be they are excellent build quality) and some R&G mushrooms (because the general consensus seems to be they are the best).

Does anyone recommend any other form of frame/ bar protection?

While reading other threads and opinions on the best fairing protection and hunting round the net for some good R&G deals (anybody seen any?) I've come across bar-end protectors and cotton reels (which although they are there for paddock stands, some people have said these also help to protect the swinging arm in a slide).

Any opinions on exhaust protection?

Thanks in advance for any replies. I have found this forum to have some really useful info on it and I search all threads before making a purchase!

By the way, I've just bought some Alpinestars Polar gloves...they are the mutts. Highly recommend these, really comfy! Sizes are a bit misleading though. I normally buy large but had to go to XL to get a good fit.
